beta v0.6.0 (~6.84 seconds)

Welcome to the new release! Much of this is doing some changes to lay down some changes that build part of the (hopefully?) groundwork for any potential future work that might come up. We do achieve some good minor speed boosts in the meantime, though we are near one part of the tail end of optimizations that we publish in this particular update. However, we're all chipping away at that one singular goal of trying to be under 2.0 seconds in 2.0 years (or so), so every little bit helps! Usually! (as long as it's not too complicated!)
